I recently found out I have a right ovarian cyst measuring 95.5 cc with a peripherally situated solid component of about 12x6 mm in the adnexal area from my ultrasound. My CA-125 is 8.5, which is normal. My doctor initially suggested surgery but then prescribed me Derivery 10 mg daily for 3 months when I asked about medicine options. I'm 24 and not married should I be worried about the cyst or the treatment plan? Is medicine enough or should I consider surgery?

It's understandable to be concerned about your ovarian cyst, especially with the initial suggestion of surgery. While a normal CA-125 level and your age are positive factors, the size and solid component of the cyst warrant caution. Whether medicine or surgery is the best option depends on your individual circumstances and the potential for complications. It's crucial to have a thorough discussion with your doctor about the pros and cons of each approach.

I've been taking Susten 400 twice a day since my IUI on July 5th, as my doctor suggested doing it for 15 days. But now it's day 11, and I'm having all these period symptoms. Do you think I should stop taking Susten, or is this normal? I'm just a bit worried and unsure about what to do next.

It is important to continue using Susten as prescribed by your doctor to support the early stages of pregnancy. It is recommended to complete the full course of medication unless otherwise advised by your doctor.

So I had a scan at 8 weeks, and they saw an empty sac, no yolk sac, no fetal pole. I've just done a repeat scan, and now there's a yolk sac measuring 3.5mm. Should I just hang in there a bit longer, or does this mean it's not going to work out? Is there any chance things might turn around? My last menstrual period was on November 24, 2020.
